A method for manufacturing ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and CMCs made by the method are disclosed. The method can be a manual process or an automated process, such as using a robotic system, that is used for controlled delivery of ceramic particles in a CMC fabric. The method includes identifying voids present between adjacent tows of the CMC fabric and dispensing ceramic particles into the voids.
